Anael - Bonnie Hunter Mysteries always start the day after Thanksgiving. You get the fabric requirements the month before that. You get a set of instructions each Friday until around New Years, or a week after. I finished piecing this one around the middle of January. It has sat in a box until last month when I quilted it.
QNS - I forgot how beautiful the quilt was until I put it on the clothesline and took a look at it from afar. You work on them so close that you don't get the full impact until you can hang them up finished and get another look.
